The Palazzo

All the Italian romance and flair of the neighbouring, more famous Venetian hotel, but in a setting that scores higher on unassuming, understated luxury. Guests love the regal, all-suite accommodations with their split-level allure.

The mid-Strip setting verges on an ideal one, though it's set back a little way and there's some walking involved to nearby attractions. Many guests will appreciate the buffer, though, and it adds to the feeling of exclusivity in many ways.

Style & character

9/10

The Palazzo keeps it more assuredly low key, containing its expressions of romanticism to multi-storey water features and marble statues under the striking glass domes. It feels like less of a caricature and more of an homage, with sophisticated touches such as its Renaissance-tinged atrium rather than the more gimmicky elements of the Venetian. This also means that the hotel attracts less people who aren't staying at the hotel just wandering around to take a look, and that's a definite plus point.

Service & facilities

9/10

Arrival and check-in was one of the least taxing in the city, and the sense of refinement started with the impeccable front desk staff. The most recognisable feature at the hotel is the retail boulevard of the Grand Canal Shoppes, which stretch between this property and the Venetian. Amid the shops is the huge Canyon Ranch Spa, one of the world's largest day spas with 150 treatments available and its own dining and exercise options thrown in. The Pool is an elegant deck framed by columns and palm trees, and The Aquatic Club is a Vegas day club for more mature guests. The theatre hosts mainly world-famous legacy acts.

As noted, it's an all-suite property and even the entry level accommodations are something to behold, and clock in at almost twice the size of regular Vegas hotel rooms. The split-level layout with a sunken living space feels particularly decadent, as do the velvet sofas, oversized padded headboards and gleaming counter tops. The contemporary art and light fittings have a classy restraint to them and the remote-controlled shades and curtains will have you relaxing like a movie star in no time. The bathrooms boast twin sinks and Roman tubs along with Agraria toiletries and stand-alone shower units.

Food & drink

9/10

The dining situation isn't as clear cut as other hotels, as the Palazzo shares many restaurants with The Venetian, many of the options being located in Restaurant Row, between the two properties. However, this means that there's an embarrassment of choices. Breakfast at The Palazzo is perhaps best done at Grand Lux Café, which has a continental breakfast buffet from around $20 (£14).

There's a high-end bistro experience available at Bouchon, while Carnevino leads the charge of Italian restaurants right on the casino floor. Wolfgang Puck's CUT in the Atrium is perhaps the flagship dining room, with steak-lead fine dining, but the options are almost overwhelming.
